I want to have on record for myself some still shots of this week’s painting process—a studio souvenir of my time at Lost River. This painting sketch remains an active work in progress, currently on pause while I wend my way back to Massachusetts, but I want its progress to date in my online journal here.
first marks, left-handed—hard charcoal pencil followed by
thicker charcoal pencil
with varying amounts of Liquitex white gesso mixed in
applied sparingly directly from eye dropper;
diluted Liquitex titanium white applied as linework
from fine-line applicator bottle
and then manipulated on the page in some places
using the edge of a narrow strip of plastic gift card
with page oriented alternately “right”side up, upside down, and sideways
another round of fine-line diluted Liquitex titanium white scribbles
Golden Hi-Flow transparent Hansa yellow medium
and added a quick page-wide scribble
with Stabilo ultramarine Woody watercolor pencil
WIP paused for now …
